“Obviously, you just have that ambition but I really don’t think he knows how tough it is. Colin is a wonderful golfer and sure he might do it. But – and I’m not boasting – there is only one man who has won the senior grand slam and that’s me. Palmer, Nicklaus and Watson have all tried and it’s not that easy.”
